I am a bro who is afraid of germs. Typically, germs are considered to be tiny organisms, or living things, that can cause disease. I am very afraid of dying, and usually wear swine flu masks in public, as well as gloves that protect my hands.
However, I am also afraid of nontraditional germs. I am afraid of germs that are ‘poisonous ideas.’ I am afraid of things like ‘racism’, ‘bad fashion’, and anything that might taint the purity of my authenticity. I must protect myself from germs. I am germabrobe.
I have created a personal brand/a sense of reality and most of the ideas/people/objects/oxygen that I will encounter today are direct threats 2 who I am as a person. My body is a temple. My mind is a temple. My soul is a temple. My personal brand is a temple. I must protect myself much like George W. Bush protected the United States against ‘the brown people of the Eastern World.” Much like terrorists don’t ‘get’ our freedom, mainstreamers/general-bros do not ‘get’ me.
I think Michael Jackson might have been the original Germaphobe-for-the-sake-of-keeping-bad-ideas-away. Feel like he was just a chill lil guy who wanted to ’stay a child’ and not be exposed to the terrors/downfalls of humanity. He needed to live in a reality where ‘playing with urself & other fellow children’ was ‘okay’–in a world where ‘age is just a number.’
Michael Jackson was protecting his version of reality. He is the greatest entertainer of all-time, therefore he does not need to breathe the same air that ‘normal people’ do. He can’t afford to get ill from germs [via the commonman]. In order to be a relevant symbol/public figure, u must let the world know that u r above ‘regular’ public spaces, societal norms, governing laws, and basically just about everything.
Being a cultural germaphobe is more than just a personal branding decision. It is kinda like some sort of ‘very passionate, no-bullshit ideology’ 4 people who want to live ‘a better life.’
Protect yalls selves
from germs,
yall.
What do yall do to stay germ-free?
Do yall believe in hand-sanitizers?
Do u bathe in rubbing alcohol everytime u get home from being in public?
How do u protect urself from mental and physical diseases?

@fortune, Bob Marley died of brain cancer! Plus he had dirty fucking dreadlocks that were home to tons of bugs.

HRO reminds me that i need to step up my personal branding / mission statement. need a mission statement that i can apply to every decision to make sure that i stay tru to my core message.
Just want to be myself / express who i really am / be controlled by an overriding gestalt that effectively communicates the message the “you want to have intercourse with me”
sorta h8 how it always boils down to the “drive to reproduce” /sorta <3 how it always boils down to the “drive to reproduce”
wonder what sort of potential “gestalt” has when compared to “meme”??????

THE MASKS FOR SWINE FLU DON’T PROTECT YOU… swine flu is transmitted through air.. .03 i think…. the mask has holes that are bigger than that…. the masks don’t do anything except make you look like a …. idk… but don’t believe them when they say that they protect you… my mom is a nurse… she has to get a shot or wear a mask…. this is how i know. Now spread the truth my young grasshoppers… :)
